Hello Chris,

1) Vertrauen is a ANSI BBS. You would probably have to logon to Vertrauen with a UTF-8 terminal so the BBS can detect that you're using a UTF-8 terminal in order to see it properly. I would imagine some (if not all) of the logon screens of the BBS would look good then either.

2) Then you downloaded a QWK packet with MultiMail. I'm not sure if MultiMail (what you used to read/write your message) supports UTF-8. You seemed to have replied to a UTF-8 message with a CP437 charset, which doesn't translate properly.

Regards,
Nick
